Chapter 10, wasted in vain

Nevertheless, in any case, he had finally absorbed the spiritual energy from the three spirit crystals, so he hurriedly began to attempt to cast the "Human Madness Sword" again

The spiritual vessel is essentially another container, and compared to the body, it is a more advanced container. Its capacity can be infinitely expanded based on the practitioner's cultivation level. Most importantly, it can compress spiritual energy, making it more refined and thus more powerful

Luo Yun was busy with his cultivation every day, and he naturally had no idea that the news of Xu Yangteng calling him brother had already spread throughout the entire Linjiang City, drawing the attention of many. This is why Lou Tianzhi took the time out of his busy schedule today to confirm the matter.

Luo Yun took out a second-grade spirit crystal, sat cross-legged, pressed his palms tightly against the spirit crystal, closed his eyes, and focused on absorbing the spiritual energy contained within it

Luo Yun smiled and said, "I am doing well, thank you for your concern, Second Uncle."

Lou Yun glared fiercely at Chang Xiang, her teeth grinding together as she exclaimed, "Then why didn't you say so earlier!"

What is going on

Luo Yun hesitated for a moment and said: "Indeed, I am preparing to cultivate ordinary weapons, and I have made some progress. Second Uncle, do you have something to say to me?"

On the planet of Spirit Beasts, in addition to humans, there exists a number of demon beasts that is by no means less than that of humans. These demon beasts, much like humans, are capable of cultivation, and due to their inherently advantageous conditions, such as immense strength and skin as tough as steel, they possess formidable power

Spirit Crystals are stones naturally formed by the earth and sky, rich in abundant spiritual energy. Compared to the spiritual energy from the outside world, the energy within Spirit Crystals is more pure and concentrated, which can assist individuals in enhancing their cultivation speed. Therefore, they have become essential items that everyone desires to possess for their cultivation.

Just as Lou Yun was about to begin absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit crystal, he suddenly heard a sound, as footsteps slowly approached. He hurriedly put away the spirit crystal, and at the same time, he heard the voice of his second uncle, Lou Tianzhi, from outside the door: "Yun'er, are you in the room?"

Lou Yun did not conceal anything and briefly recounted the events of that day. Lou Tianzhi nodded repeatedly as he listened, and only after Lou Yun finished did he say: "Yun'er, although cultivating ordinary weapons is a less favorable strategy, it can still lead to becoming a strong individual. Keep at it, and if you need anything, feel free to speak up; your second uncle supports you"

After pondering for a moment, Lou Tianzhi continued, "Yun'er, although you are still young, there are some matters you should understand. Our Lou family needs to establish good relations with influential figures like Xu Yangteng, so..."

The child of the Lou family is to undergo a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, which is the rite of passage into adulthood. However, six months prior to this ceremony, it is mandatory to go hunting

Luo Yuntian, being naturally intelligent, immediately discerned the implied meaning behind Luo Tianzhi's words and interjected, "Second Uncle, rest assured, I know what to do"

However, the result was truly beyond his expectations, as the spiritual energy within his body could still only traverse the eight meridians, seemingly no different from before he absorbed the spirit crystal.

... ...

Lou Yun was well aware of the preciousness of the spirit crystal stones. However, he truly did not expect that his fifteen years of savings, amounting to three hundred gold, would only exchange for three pieces of second-grade spirit crystal stones. It is worth noting that three hundred gold is enough for a family of three to live for a hundred years. At this moment, he could only shake his head and smile wryly at the spirit crystal stones in his hand

Luo Yun was wholeheartedly focused on his cultivation, truly forgetting about the matter of hunting. It was only after being reminded by Lou Tianzhi that he suddenly recalled it.

Usually, the majority of the spiritual energy absorbed by the human body is stored within the spiritual weapons. When needed, the spiritual weapons will naturally supply it. However, the body cannot do this, especially in the case of Lou Yun, who is currently undergoing body refinement. His body requires spiritual energy for forging rather than for storage, so all the spiritual energy integrated into his body has been completely consumed

Three pieces of second-grade spirit crystals; it took Lou Yun a full three days of dedicated effort to absorb all the spiritual energy contained within them. Looking at the three pieces that had lost their luster and turned into ordinary stones, Lou Yun sighed with lingering regret. Although he was not a miser, spending fifteen years of savings in just three days was indeed quite extravagant. It seemed that in order to enhance his cultivation speed, he would need to possess a considerable level of financial strength.

The so-called hunting involves going to the habitats of demon beasts to hunt them down, thereby obtaining the beast souls within them. The higher the level of beast souls you can acquire, the greater the benefits you will enjoy during the adult ceremony.

Monsters and humans belong to two mutually incompatible species. Humans have their own habitats, while monsters have specific spaces designated for their dwelling.

Luo Tianzhi let out a sigh, and to be honest, he really did not want to use his nephew to curry favor with Xu Yangteng. However, there was no choice; after all, he was now the head of the Luo family, and everything he did had to prioritize the interests of the entire family

At that moment, Chang Xiang appeared in the room, arms crossed over his chest, looking at Lou Yun, who was immersed in absorbing spiritual energy and wore a satisfied expression. He muttered to himself: "Hunting, quite interesting. This is a good opportunity to let this kid gain some practical experience. However, two months is a bit short; he definitely won't master this set of 'Frenzied Sword.' I should first teach him a simpler set of martial techniques and spar with him, so he doesn't end up being eaten by a beast!"

Indeed, aside from serving as weapons, the fundamental role of spiritual weapons is to contain, store, and compress spiritual energy. Without spiritual weapons within your body, the spiritual energy you absorb can only merge into your body. However, your body has just undergone the first refinement; although its capacity has been expanded, there remains a limit. Therefore, your spiritual energy is indeed quite limited.

Luo Tianzhi is speaking the truth; he has just become the clan leader and needs to familiarize himself with https://mhetushucomcom and grasp all the circumstances of the family, so naturally, he has no free time

The spirit crystal is indeed an essential item for enhancing cultivation speed. The world is not solely composed of spiritual energy; there are many other impurities as well. During the absorption process, one must extract the essence and discard the dross. Lou Yun can clearly sense that the spiritual energy contained within this second-grade spirit crystal is much purer than the energy he absorbs directly from the world.

Chang Xiang had long been waiting for Lou Yun to call him, and he leisurely made his appearance, asking with a relaxed expression: "What is it?"

Suddenly, Lou Yun keenly noticed a hint of hesitation clearly flashing across Lou Tianzhi's face. It was evident that he seemed to have something he wanted to say to her, yet he found it difficult to speak up.

Upon hearing this sentence, Lou Yun's heart suddenly skipped a beat. How could he have forgotten about the matter of hunting?

However, since the participants are all fifteen-year-old children, for their safety, they will only be allowed to hunt the most basic magical beasts. Additionally, the Lou family will send experts to provide covert protection. Of course, this protection is not comprehensive; it is merely to ensure your survival. Whether you get injured or succeed in hunting the magical beasts to obtain their souls is beyond the scope of this protection.

Luo Tianzhi walked in with a smile, found a chair to sit down, and looked at Luo Yundao: "Yun'er, I have been too busy during this period and haven't taken the time to see you. How have you been recently?"

The role of spiritual weapons

Haha! You are still being so formal with Uncle Er. By the way, your father has not woken up yet, but I have had someone check on him. There is no danger to his life, and he should regain consciousness in a short while.

The building clouds, akin to a great whale drawing in water, absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit crystal with unparalleled ease, soon entering a state of complete immersion.

In fact, Lou Yun does not need to spend money to purchase spiritual crystal stones, as the Lou family already possesses spiritual crystal stones. Additionally, having obtained the mining rights for spiritual crystal ore for three years, they will also sell a portion of the spiritual crystal stones to generate profit. However, on one hand, Lou Yun is unwilling to let others know about his intention to buy spiritual crystal stones, and on the other hand, he does not wish to rely on the influence of his family.

After a moment of stunned silence, Lou Yun suddenly erupted with a furious roar: "What! Are you saying that my three second-grade spirit crystals were a complete waste of money? Although I absorbed the spiritual energy within them, in reality, due to the limited capacity of my body, it was all wasted?"

Indeed! This is naturally great news for Lou Yun: "That's wonderful!"

At the same time, Chang Xiang thought to himself: "How could it possibly be a waste? Although it is merely a second-grade spirit crystal, it is still enough to fill the gaps in my teeth."

Luo Tianzhi was taken aback for a moment, then awkwardly smiled and said: "You figured it out, huh? Actually, it's nothing much. I just heard that you went to Xu Yangteng's shop, and he gave you a common soldier, right?"

Spirit Crystals are classified into nine grades based on the amount of spiritual energy they contain, ranging from low to high. However, due to the limited quantity of Spirit Crystals and the increasing rarity of higher-grade ones, the highest grade discovered so far is only grade 7. Consequently, their prices are exceedingly high, making them unaffordable even for most large sects.

Regardless of the circumstances, if it is true, then for the Lou family, being able to befriend a weapon refiner would be an immensely fortunate event

Chang Xiang slowly said: "Do you know the function of spiritual weapons?"

Suddenly, a mischievous smile appeared on Changxiang's face as he lightly tapped his head and said, "Oh, it seems I forgot to tell him that without spiritual weapons in his body, he simply doesn't have enough capacity to accommodate this spiritual energy. But I can't be blamed for this; he should have thought of it himself, hehe"

Never mind, let's focus on training for now

However, due to the formidable strength of the demon beasts, as well as their cunning and bloodthirsty nature, there is a classification of levels based on their varying powers. For ease of understanding, humans have categorized the levels of demon beasts into ten grades, with five stars each. Therefore, it is not an easy task for humans to hunt demon beasts.

Yes, that is exactly the meaning

Luo Yun pondered for a long time but could not come to a conclusion. In desperation, he could only seek help from Chang Ge: "Brother Chang!"

Within the bodies of these demon beasts, there exists a substance known as the Beast Soul, which contains the inherent energy of the demon beasts themselves. The Beast Soul serves as an excellent auxiliary material for the cultivation of spiritual weapons and elixirs. Whether for spiritual weapon masters, alchemists, or weapon refiners, the demand for Beast Souls is significant, making them extremely precious. Furthermore, each Beast Soul possesses its own elemental attributes.

After a pause, Lou Tianzhi continued to ask, "Yun'er, have you made any progress in your cultivation? Have you started practicing with ordinary weapons?"

After chatting for a while, Lou Tianzhi stood up to prepare to leave. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, Yun'er, in two months it will be the day of your hunt. Do you feel confident about it?"

Chang Xiang shrugged indifferently and said, "I see you are so eager to buy the Spirit Crystals; I really don't want to dampen your enthusiasm!"

Uncle Er, I am here! While responding, I walked over to open the door

Seeing that Lou Yun was about to enter a state of rage, Chang Xiang also knew it was time to stop. He cleared his throat and said: "However, don't be anxious. As compensation, I will now teach you a slightly lower-level set of military techniques. I guarantee that within two months, you will definitely be able to master it. Moreover, if you practice this set of techniques to perfection, its power will exceed your imagination"

Elder Brother Zhang, I have clearly absorbed the spiritual energy from the three spirit crystals, so why does it feel like the spiritual energy in my body hasn't increased?

As for how strong he is at present, Lou Yun has no idea at all. He only knows that the time left for him is becoming increasingly limited. In two months, will he be able to kill a demon beast?
